Is it illegal for busdrivers to question passengers' disability (or
apparent lack thereof) when fit young men get on and use their orange
Freedom Pass on London buses?

A friend of mine, 35 years old and apparently healthy looking, is living with
HIV. This means he is officially disabled and he carries a Freedom Pass to
which he is entitled.

I don't suppose drivers would care to ask people who do not look disabled what
their disability is. If a Freedom Pass is stolen, I believe that like an
Oyster Card it can be cancelled. So the presumption is that the person is
disabled and the pass is legal.
